Chapter 303 Provocation (1)
"Oh, okay, honey, I apologize... hahaha..." Yan Zuozuo's words lacked sincerity, leaving Chi Moqing helpless. "Wife, stop fooling around, how about you feed me?"
Yan Zuozuo's face flushed: "...Okay."
Chi Moqing felt a sweet warmth in his heart, and looked at her with exceptional tenderness, his mouth open, waiting for her to feed him.
Yan Zuozuo blushed even more, took a small sip of her food, and shyly leaned closer.
With a smile on his face, Chi Moqing leaned over and kissed her lips, sucking them without any restraint. Yan Zuozuo, mindful of his wound, dared not resist until Chi Moqing had satisfied his animalistic desires, at which point he finally let her go.
She slumped over her chest, about to huff and puff, when her phone rang. She quickly got up to grab it, and when she saw the caller ID, it was Chi's mother. A wave of nervousness washed over her.
"Honey, does Mom know about Auntie's situation?" She looked up at Chi Moqing.
"It shouldn't be there yet." At this point, Chi Moqing reached out his hand and said, "I'll take it."
Yan Zuozuo hesitated for a moment: "So, your mother didn't know you were injured?"
Chi Moqing nodded, and Yan Zuozuo sighed. Oh well, what's coming will come sooner or later, so let's just go for it!
"mom……"
"Where are you now?" The moment the call connected, Chi's mother's voice came through the line. Yan Zuozuo glanced guiltily at Chi Moqing, pursed her lips, and said, "I...I'm at work..."
"Nonsense! I just called your company, and your colleagues said you took leave. Mo Qing also didn't go to the company. Tell me, where are you?"
Yan Zuozuo was speechless, covering the phone, and said to Chi Moqing, "Should we tell the truth?"
Chi Moqing hesitated for a moment, then picked up his phone. "Mom, Zuo Zuo and I are at home. I got a little hurt, but it's nothing serious, don't worry."
"Injured?!" Mrs. Chi exclaimed in surprise, her heart pounding with anxiety. "What happened? Your father and I were only gone for a few days, how did you get injured? Tell me quickly... No, no, you rest at home, I'll be right there..."
"Come here? Mom, you're back?" Chi Moqing was taken aback, a hint of suspicion in her heart.
"Yes, I'm back. I felt something was off no matter what I thought about when I got there, so I came back."
Chi Moqing frowned slightly. The reason he told his mother about his injury was to expose Meng's mother's crimes and prevent his mother from siding with her, thus avoiding implicating Yan Zuozuo. Chi Ran's birthday was in a few days; they would go then, and by then her injury wouldn't be serious, so his mother wouldn't need to worry. But he hadn't expected her to return so quickly.
“Alright, my injury is nothing serious, Mom, don’t worry, I’ll have the driver pick you up,” Chi Moqing said.
"Why are you calling? We have a driver at home. I'm coming right now, you stay put!" With that, Chi's mother hung up the phone in a huff.
Twenty minutes later, Chi's mother appeared at the villa with a worried expression.
Seeing her mother-in-law's distressed expression, Yan Zuozuo felt even more guilty.
"What happened?" Chi's mother asked with heartache as she stroked Chi Moqing's wound.
Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo exchanged a glance, feeling that there was no need to hide this, and even if they wanted to, they couldn't. After a moment of silence, he said, "Auntie kidnapped Zuozuo, so this injury can be said to be thanks to Auntie."
Chi's mother was shocked: "Kidnapping?!"
Chi Moqing nodded with a serious expression and recounted the whole story.
Chi's mother simply couldn't believe her sister could be so heartless and insane. She exploded, "She's completely mad! How could she do such a thing? No, I have to see her. I can't let her continue like this! This is simply breaking the law!"
"Mom, you'd better not see her," Yan Zuozuo stammered, which puzzled Chi's mother. "Why?"
Yan Zuozuo nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, took a deep breath, and said, "My aunt is disabled, it might... be a little scary..."
Mrs. Chi looked at her suspiciously, then at Chi Moqing, "Tell me what exactly happened!"
Chi's mother would find out sooner or later, Chi Moqing said frankly, "All four of my limbs have been bitten off, and now I'm just a... cripple..."
scare!
Mrs. Chi gasped sharply, her eyes widening in disbelief. She could accept imprisonment, after all, her daughter had committed a crime. But to lose all four limbs…
"Biten by wolves?" Chi's mother asked, her voice trembling after hearing their account.
Chi Moqing nodded, but her mother suddenly became angry. "Why didn't you go back to save her? No matter what she did wrong, she's still your aunt! You...you actually..."
"So, Mom wanted us to die?" Chi Moqing asked calmly. Seeing his mother's stunned expression, he analyzed, "The situation was urgent at the time. Someone wanted our lives. Saving Aunt was the same as sending us to our deaths."
Chi's mother's breath hitched, a look of deep sorrow and inner turmoil flashing across her face. That was her only older sister, yet she ended up like this. How did it all happen? Why did it come to this?
Chi Moqing's question softened her heart. Although she was close to her sister, Moqing was, after all, her son, and she couldn't bear to exchange his life for Meng's mother's. But he was also her only sister…
Chi's mother seemed somewhat dazed, her heart aching terribly. She waved her hand and said, "Since you're alright, I'll head back now..."
"Mom..." Yan Zuozuo was very worried about Chi's mother and called out to her, but Chi Moqing quickly grabbed her arm and gestured for her to stop talking.
Yan Zuozuo stared in the direction where Chi's mother had left, her heart clenching in pain.
Chi Moqing called the driver who brought his mother over and asked him to take good care of her.
Yan Zuozuo sat beside him, holding his hand tightly, and said, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Aunt and the others wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all my fault..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Chi Moqing reached out and hugged her. "You reap what you sow. This is all their own fault. It has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it. Mom is just having trouble accepting it right now. She'll be fine in a couple of days. Don't take it to heart."
Despite saying that, Yan Zuozuo still felt melancholy. For some reason, she had a bad feeling after what happened to Meng's mother. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she just felt very uneasy.
As soon as Chi's mother got into the car, the driver sensed that something strange was going on, as if something extraordinary had happened.
"Madam, shall we go home now?" he asked.
After a moment of silence, Chi's mother said, "Find out where my sister is being held. I need to see her."
The driver immediately nodded and did as instructed, quickly finding Meng's mother's address. He drove her there, and seeing her desperate expression, he wanted to follow, but was stopped. "Wait for me in the car," he said, before walking into the hospital in her high heels.
After returning from the crime scene, Meng's mother was taken to the hospital. Due to the severity of her injuries, she is still in the hospital, and the police have assigned people to guard her.
The driver, a bodyguard who had been by Chi's father's side for many years, immediately called Chi's father upon seeing Chi's mother's condition. Chi's father had gone out on business after returning home the previous night, and upon receiving the driver's call, he quickly contacted Chi Moqing.
Chi Moqing briefly explained the situation: "I'll have to trouble Dad with this for a while."
Chi's father sighed heavily: "I know. Your aunt was incredibly audacious and deserved what she got. You should comfort Zuo Zuo and make sure she doesn't feel guilty."
“I will, then that’s settled.” Chi Moqing hung up the call, took Yan Zuozuo’s hand and said, “You saw it, Dad said it’s none of your business, don’t overthink it.”
Yan Zuozuo forced a smile, but quickly slumped her shoulders. "It's all related to me after all. Besides, Xiao Ran is about to get married, but I've caused this kind of trouble."
"This has nothing to do with you!" Chi Moqing said sharply, gripping her hand even tighter, his eyes resolute. "Wife, listen to me carefully. This whole thing is entirely your own fault, it has nothing to do with you! If you insist on saying that, then I'm the one at fault. I failed to protect you, which gave your aunt an opportunity. Tell me, don't I deserve to die?"
Yan Zuozuo was stunned, and a wave of emotion washed over her. She hugged Chi Moqing tightly and said in a choked voice, "Once you're healed, let's go back together and apologize to Mom. We're the ones who hurt her."
Chi Moqing closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "If anyone should apologize, it should be my aunt. However, if this makes my wife feel better, I'll reluctantly accept it."
Yan Zuozuo nodded, and neither of them spoke again.
In the hospital, Meng's mother screamed in anguish because she kept thinking about suicide, so the police tied her to the bed.
"Ah, let me go, let me die..." Her head kept hitting the bed board, but it was tied too tightly, and she couldn't hit it no matter what she did. She could only scream in despair.
Standing outside the ward, seeing her only sister in this state, Chi's mother felt a pang of pain in her heart. She couldn't help but push open the door, covering her mouth and choking back sobs, "Sister..."
What came into her view was a woman without limbs, her face completely disfigured, her hair disheveled, roaring and screaming, in pain as if she couldn't go on living.
At first glance, Chi's mother was terrified, but remembering that this was her own sister, she still went over.
"Sister..." She approached step by step, reaching out to touch her, but Meng's mother suddenly roared, "Don't touch me!"
Startled, Chi's mother retreated repeatedly. "Sister, it's me..." Seeing Meng's mother's ferocious face, Chi's mother's tears flowed even more profusely.
Meng's mother looked at Chi's mother with eyes full of resentment and roared, "Get out! Get out! I never want to see you again, never want to see your whole family, get out of here!"
"Ahhh!" Mother struggled incessantly, her body bound with ropes, and she kept banging her head against the bed frame.
Chi's mother was heartbroken. She rushed over and hugged Meng's mother tightly, crying her heart out, "Don't hit her! Please, I beg you... Sister, it's me, please don't hit her..."
"Ah! I hate you, I hate your whole family, get out!"
"Are you happy to see me crippled? I'm all thanks to your whole family. I wish you were all dead!"
"Let me go, you heartless woman! You're not my sister, get out!"
……
Meng's mother's roars echoed in Chi's mother's ears, tearing her heart apart. She opened her mouth, wanting to comfort Meng's mother, but didn't know what to say; this was her only sister.
"Ugh!" Suddenly, Chi's mother let out a muffled groan. It turned out that Meng's mother had bitten her arm tightly, with such force that snow was seeping out. Chi's mother didn't move, letting her bite.
